There was time when the prices were

Flaxseed I'm the Eve.

"Where did the habit OF putting flax
seed in the eye in order to remove for
eign substance come froms'' asked a re-
porter. 'It is very old superstition"
replied his medical friend. 'sTherc is no
foundation for it in fact, and the state
ment TINT it chases the foreign substance
around and around under the lid Il the
sheerest nonsense. Putting in flaxseed
SIMPLY adds fuel to the flame. 1t is fortu-
nate that the seed is comparatively
smooth and unirritating, or otherwise the
fallacy would be a serious one. A similar
humbug is stone from q crabs cye,'
which is simply the crystalline lens of the
eye of a crab hardened by boiling."-

UNGATHERED BEAUTY.

Wear not the white rose of thy courtesy
On this day and on that but let it bloom
UnpuclIed in thy souls garden, IS plume
High nodding Ger the crest OF chivalry.
Long gathered blossoms are not loved of thee;

While the fall'n rose its beauty doth resume
In each new bud unfolding on the tree.
Wouldst thou the servant of occasion Be,
And match thy mood to every CLEAN and

FIRE AT BELDEN'S FALLS,

= The marble mill at Belden's Falls was
totally destroyed by fire late Monday af-
ternoon. 1t was owned by F. W. Smith
& Co. of Burlington, who have quarries
at Pittsford and used the mill to saw up
into marketable shape the blocks taken
out there. The fire broke out about five
o'clock, in the oil room, where the light
ing and lubricating oils needed about the
establishment were stored. It's supposed
to have caught from match dropped by
one of the workmen, as it started Just af-
ter the lamps had been lighted. The
flames spread rapidly and quickly COM
municated to the tar roof. 1t was very
soon apparent that the mill must go and
attention was turned to saving the tene-
ment houses and outbuildings near by.
The roofs of several of them were kim
died. Hard work, however, confined the
damage to the mill, which was in ruins
by eight o'clock in the evening. The
burned property was insured for 81, 900
through Burlington agency. AS Mr..
Smith has not yet been down, it is not
known whether the mill will be rebuilt.
The insurance will probably fully cover
the loss.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER II, 1887.
A GRAVE MISTAKE.

Those members of the Womcn's Chris
ians Temperance union who at the late
annual meeting in Woodstock worked
for and finally secured the passage of
resolution endorsing the prohibition
party appear to have made what may
prove serious blunder. We have just
received copy of series of resolutions
drawn up by the memb bers of the North
field W. c. L. L. and signed by 26 of
them. The important resolution is this
Resolred, That while we love our ma
tional president, and affirm our unfalter
ing allegiance to prohibition, constitu-
tional and statutory in State and nation,
we desire to keep the Vermont Woman's
Christian union free from the trammels of
any political organization, in order to
preserve harmony among ourselves and
secure the full cooperation of every ten-
perance man and woman in the State.
So long as the ladies cannot vote, and
need the support of temperance men of
all parties, it would seem the part of wis
dom for them to do nothing which would
tend to ALLEVIATE any part of that support
Besides, as is limited in the resolution
quoted, the Introduction of politics
must have the effect of bringing about
divisions in the union. The principles
and objects of the union are in every way
excellent, and it has accomplished in one
and another direction a good work for
temperance reform. The leaders should
be careful, then, not to wreck it by un-
wise acts, like that at Woodstock, if
what they chiefly desire is the advance
ment of the temperance cause. But if
that is not what they are after, but some
thing else, they should, as one of them
suggests, organize "Woman's Political
Temperance association and 90 in on
that line, leaving the old organization to
carry forward its work in its own field
and free from the strifes of politics.

SUICIDE IN WEST FERRlsBuRoH.

Our Vergennes correspondent writes:
"The death of Mr.. James Gregory, early
Thursday morning of last week, at his
home in West Ferrisburgh, was a shock
to the community where he has always
lived. Early Thursday morning he went
out, Mrs. Gregory thought, to milk the
cows, and, not returning, she went out
to search for him. She found his lifeless
body near the barn yard, with the top of
his head entirely blown off, and dis
charged gun lay by his side. She did not
hear the gun, but there were those who
did. By some it is thought his death was
accidental. but others think it case of
self-destruction. He frequently took the
gun, double-barrel shot gun, when he
went out in the morning, to shoot birds
and squirrels. Mr.. Gregory was a volun-
teer in the late war, and was a member
of Co. |. 14th Vermont, and was pro-
noted to sergeant. He was about "a
years old and leaves a wife. He was a
kind-hearted neighbor, industrious and
much respected. He never received a
pension, although justly entitled to one.
The funeral, Friday, was largely at
tended"

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Another bank cashier has gone wrong.
This time it is r. S. Hicks of Stafford,
Ct, and the bank will lose 100000
through his operations.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says
that Robert Z. Lincoln was the presiden-
tial choice of large majority of the Re-
publican members of the Grand Army
who met there recently.
The interstate commerce commission
is assembling at Washington and will
shortly make public several important
decisions lately reached. 1t will also re-
port to Congress recommending mOditi
cations in the law.
According to the reports presented at
the annual meeting in Minneapolis the
order of Knights of Labor has lost almost
two hundred thousand members during
the past year. The membership July l
was about 535 900.
The hotels at Bellows Falls declare that
they will close if the prohibtory law is
enforced. As the proprietors of them will
be the chief sufferers, this attempt to bull
dose the temperance element in the COM
munity can only result in failure.
Rutland's health officer, in the warning
which he issued the other day upon the
appearance of diphtheria there, urges the
necessity of "absolute cleanliness in and
about the house, especially where there
are children,'4 and says this disease sis
propagated by foul sink drains, prives
and rotten animal or vegetable matter"
1t is suspected that President Cleveland
had George William Curtis in mind when
he said at banquet in Milwaukee the
other day: "NIore unpatriotic than all
others are those who, having neither
party discomfort nor fair ground of criti-
cism to excuse or Justify their conduct,
rail because of personal disappointment,
who misrepresent, for sensational pur.
poses, and who profess to see swift de.
struction in the rejection of their plan;
of governmental management"
Miss Emma Abbott created a sensation
IN Methodist church at Nashville
Tenn, Sunday. The preacher had il
his sermon made a savage attack OF
actors and the stage generally. Wher

Such being the condition of affairs,
many benevolent people who have hith-
erto given hearty support to the board,
but cannot do so longer because they do
not approve its course, will doubtless
find themselves thinking how they can
act. This suggestion to both parties is
therefore in order: Those who believe
in the policy of the board fixed for the
coming year, or, as some would say, in
DR.. Alden's theological court, to be thor
oughly consistent should multiply their
contributions or certainly increase them
in proportion to their zeal for what they
consider soundness of doctrine and sta
bility of policy. What has been empha-
sized by words and votes should be es-
pecially emphasized by giving. In this
way, Notwithstanding the difference in
feeling so strongly developed, the board
will be truly sustained and none of the
missionaries already sent out need be re-
Cdllcu' IHOse VIII are oppOseu W lHe
present policy can easily pour their con-
tributions through the channel of the
American Home Missionary society,
which has no theological court and does
business more in accordance with Con-
gregatonal principles. Thus the work
of evangelizaton will in no respect be
arres ted. but il will on the other hand be
promoted. Such must assuredly be the
result if giving in both directions be in
creased and active work shall take the
place of disputing concerning things that
nobody does or ever can know much
about in this life.

NoIloE 10 SUBSCRIBERS.

We find it impossible to fulfil our agree
ment to discontinue all papers not paid in
advance at this date. So many OF our friends
came around to settleup and take new start
that it has used up about all the time we had
to spare to attend to them, leaving us no
chance to prepare and send out notifications
to those still in arrears. 1t would obviously
be Unfair to cut off those who had not been in
formed that they were behind, as the date OF
expiration does not appear on the paper; so
we have decided, in order to do justice to all,
to continue to send out statements OF their
standing to delinquents, and then they will be
cut off if they do not heed the call
Our supply of wood tar exceeds the demand
and no more will be received on subscriptions

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

The recent meeting of the American
board developed the most surprising fact
that has ever been put on record in con-
necton with missionary effort. The fact
is this, that one-third of those who are
entitled to vote at its annual meetings,
and no one can tell just what proportion
of the actual contributors in the Congre-
gational churches, are wholly out of
sympathy with the present management
Of the boards committee having the
qualifications of missionary candidates
in charge. The real issue as to manage
ment is this: Shall the board send out
men presumably competent to do good
work in missionary fields after, and only
after, ascertaining their theological fit
ness according to the standard of DR.. E.
X. Alden and those whom he may be
supposed to represent, or shall it also
send those who have and hold somewhat
different judgments and views? Among
those who plead for broad rather than
narrow and strictly partisan procedure
are to be found not only those who hold
to the possible future probation theory,
but very many who are not in the least
pronounced in that direction. OF the lat
ter class are the professors at Yale theo-
logical school and college, Amherst, Will
liams, Burlington, Middlebury and We'll
lesley; all but two of the Congregational
ministers at New Haven, Ct, all of them
at Hartford; all but one at Cambridge
and Somerville, Mass, and all but two
or three in the active ministry in Boston.
1t is noticed, also, that the secular
press from Boston outwards is wholly
on the side of the broad and scholarly
men, the men who think that the work
ing basis and policy of the board should

OBITUARY..
LUCY A. BROWN.

Died, in Ripton, Sept. 25, at the residence
OF her brother, Cyrus Brown, Lucy a. Brown
of Cohoes, N. Y. aged 3s years.
Returning for a visit hoping to regain
strength and health in the mountain air OF
her native home, she was prostrated by heart
disease, and after an illness of seven weeks
she passed to the "better land" She had
been for years member OF the Baptist church,
and had led a consistent life; bearing all the
trials she met with Christian fortitude, even
the last painful illness, with great patience
and resignation to the will Divine.
The funeral was attended from the residence
OF Cyrus Brown, Rev. Mr.. Palmer OF Middle
bury officiating, and the large number of
friends gathered, and tn leautiful floral trib-
utes, gave evidence of high respect in
Which the deceased was ..I.d.
Rest thee for now the storms of life are over
Sweet peace Is thine that hath no shade of
gloom
While autumn's golden glories richly cover
The spot our love hath hallowed for thy
tomb.
Ours is the grief, but thine the joy forever
Green in our hearts thy memory shall be
Till hands shall clasp again beyond Deaths
river,
To share the perfect bliss OF Heaven with
~ thee! 81
